Happy New Year!

Hi there!

I had no intention of neglecting my blog as long as I did but I suppose that's what happens through the holidays. We had such a wonderful holiday season but I'll be honest, I'm so happy it's behind us. My weigh-in post Christmas wasn't tragic (up 1.6 lbs) but I'm anxious for tomorrow morning to see after a night out with friends and Chinese food on New Years Eve. Whatever the number is, I can handle it. I'm looking forward to getting back on track and holding myself accountable. That was the purpose of this blog.. keeping myself accountable! I need to get back to that. 

My goals for the month of January aren't super exciting but they are some things that I'm hoping to stick with this next month. I need to remind myself that as long as my kids are happy and healthy, it's okay for me to be selfish and focus on myself. I'm hoping Mackenzie (3) hangs on to her naps a little bit longer that way I can have my hour to workout. Riley (17 months) still naps like a champ, thank goodness! It's all about finding balance. There is no question of whether or not I will crush my goals in 2016. I just have to stay focused, keep a positive attitude and follow the plan I have for myself. Sh*t happens. I will eat something I regret. But I will shake it off and move forward. This is life. I'm not perfect. I don't want to be. I'm learning to love myself no matter what.
